The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest in two related notions, the notion of metaphysical explanation, or grounding, and the notion of mathematical explanation. Grounding is often described as a relation in which explanans and explanandum are connected, not through some sort of causal mechanism, but through some constitutive form of determination. Mathematical explanations, on the other hand, are seen as mathematical proofs that not only prove that something is true, but also why something is true. Although strictly connected, the studies of these two notions have proceeded separately and, as far as we know, have never been intersected. This workshop aims at taking a first step towards reparing this situation; the goal is to start constructing a natural bridge between metaphysical and mathematical explanations; this bridge could give rise to an interesting and fruitful research.

Should employers do more to promote self-care at work?
by Kathryn Wheeler on 26 November 2021 Read in
From desktop breathing exercises to specialist equipment, should our employers be doing more to encourage self-care in the workplace?
Self-care can sometimes make the difference between a good or bad mental health day, supporting our resiliency levels and offering us a welcome break from the stress of our daily lives.
For a lot of people, that daily stress may come in the form the workplace demands, and so it makes sense that self-care should be on the agenda, right?
Well, according to a survey from CV-Library, 74.2% of UK professionals agree, believing that employers should do more to promote self-care in the workplace. Among those who took part, the most popular methods of self-care included leaving your desk for short walks, breathing exercises, discussing mental health needs, investing in equipment such as a standing desk, and short meditations.
These activities can have a profound effect on our wellbeing, and the survey comes at a time where many people are reevaluating how they want to work, and looking into options that could better support them.
Back in July, it was announced that Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd gave the dating app's 700 employed a paid week off, in the hopes that this would help them to tackle burnout – and Nike followed suit in August, when they gave head office staff a week off, too.
But while the big gestures make the headlines, festering a culture that respects and cares for the mental health of its employees often starts with the smaller things. It might be setting boundaries at work, and not contacting staff outside of assigned hours. On this, Portugal recently made it illegal for bosses to contact their employees beyond their contracted hours, as part of a move to encourage healthy work-life balance as there is a surge in the number of remote workers in the country. But, beyond that, regular breaks, flexibility, communication, and an awareness of mental health needs all contribute to a healthier environment.
"Unfortunately, many businesses have habitually underestimated the importance of self-care in the workplace," says Lee Biggins, CEO and founder of CV-Library. "The pandemic has brought mental health to the forefront and this survey highlights just how important it is to the vast majority of UK professionals. Businesses need to play catch up and we can all put in more focus and effort upon the mental health of our employees."
As Lee points out, attention to mental health and a healthy working culture is a growing deciding factor for many candidates looking for their next position.
So, ask yourself, what would self-care in the workplace look like for you?

Linux Kernel Mailing List
-------------------------

The ``lkml`` directory contains scripts for working with Linux Kernel mailing
list archives.

**Retrieving data.** To retrieve mailing list data, the easiest way is to use
Gmane's HTTP interface to the messages.

1. Make sure you have ``curl`` installed.

2. Create a directory to hold the data:

    mkdir ~/lkml-archives
    cd ~/lkml-archives

4. Run the ``lkml/download-lkml.sh`` (found in this repository).

6. Go on vacation for a couple of days.

7. A series of mbox files will appear in ``~/lkml-archives``.

**Uploading to Mongo.** The ``mbox2mongo.py`` script will take a collection of
mbox files and emit JSON records, one per line, suitable for importation into a
Mongo database.

1. Run this command:

    python mbox2mongo.py ~/lkml-archives/*.mbox >lkml.json

2. Use ``mongoimport`` to create a Mongo collection with the email messages:

    mongoimport -h mymongoserver -d mydatabase -c lkml --drop --file lkml.json

Be careful with the ``--drop`` option.

You may also wish to combine steps 1 and 2 into a single command that pipes the
output of ``mbox2mongo.py`` directly to ``mongoimport``.

**Processing Data.** Several scripts in the repo perform retrieval and
aggregation operations on the data stored in the Mongo server.  Following is a
brief description of what they do and how to invoke them.  All of them can be
invoked with ``mongo scriptname.js``.  The scripts engage the database by name,
so you may need to edit them to reflect your own setup.

1. `compute-first-response-time.js` is a MongoDB script that first finds the set
   of all messages that originated an email thread, then computes the earliest
   response to each of those messages, storing this value in the ``response_time``
   property of each document.

2. `compute-mean-response-time.js` is a MongoDB script that computes a new
   database collection containing mean first-response times, aggregated by
   month.  That is, the new collection contains records with keys named "month",
   "year", "mean_response_time", and "count".  This collection can be used to
   compile monthly and yearly response time stats.

3. `compute-percent-answered.js` is a MongoDB script that computes a new
   database collection containing counts of answered and unanswered
   thread-originating emails.  It has records with keys named "month", "year",
   "answered", and "unanswered".

4. `mean-response-time-to-csv.js` and `mean-response-time-to-csv-by-year.js` are
   MongoDB scripts that produce CSV formatted files containing the data in the
   computed response time collection (computed by #2).  The `by-year` variant first
   aggregates the monthly means to derive a yearly mean, giving a coarser view of
   the numbers.  You can run this script and redirect the output to a file, but
   keep in mind that MongoDB always prints an informational header whenever it is
   invoked.  You will want to use a shell utility such as ``tail`` to strip away
   these lines, or simply remember to edit the resulting file to remove the header
   manually.

5. `percent-answered-to-csv.js` and `percent-answered-to-csv-by-year.js` are
   MongoDB scripts that produce CSV formatted files containing the data in the
   computed percent answered collection (computed by #3).  The `by-year` variant
   first aggregates the monthly numbers to derive a yearly answered/unanswered
   count, giving a coarser view of the numbers.  You can run this script and
   redirect the output to a file, but keep in mind that MongoDB always prints an
   informational header whenever it is invoked.  You will want to use a shell
   utility such as ``tail`` to strip away these lines, or simply remember to edit
   the resulting file to remove the header manually.

The goal of this collection of scripts is to generate CSV files that can then be
used to produce some simple charts, such the ones you can make by importing the
files into Google docs, etc.

Q: For loop and confition including Curl command I am trying to write a script where I enumerate users by checking the HTTP reponse length. I want to get output "good" when response is not equal 23, however I get these errors now:
for ((i=113;i<=115;i++)); do
  if [[curl -i -s -k  -X 'GET' "http://myurl/some.asp?q=$i" |
       grep Content-Length | cut -d' ' -f2 != 23]]
  then
       echo "good"
  fi
done

Output:
bash: [[curl: command not found
cut: !=: No such file or directory
cut: 23]]: No such file or directory
cut: !=: No such file or directory
cut: 23]]: No such file or directory
bash: [[curl: command not found
cut: !=: No such file or directory
cut: 23]]: No such file or directory
bash: [[curl: command not found

If I simply make a script without if condition, then it works well:
for ((i=113;i<=115;i++)); do
    curl -i -s -k  -X 'GET' "http://myurl/some.asp?q=$i" |
    grep Content-Length
done

I checked many examples but can't seem to figure out where I am doing wrong.

A: After updating your initial error, you may have a syntax like (suggestion: put some effort on format, so that it is more clear what you have and what may be wrong):
for ((i=113;i<=115;i++))
do
    if [[ curl -i -s -k  -X 'GET' "http://myurl/some.asp?q=$i" | grep Content-Length | cut -d' ' -f2 != 23 ]]
    then
        echo "good"
    fi
done

This is returning you the error:

bash: conditional binary operator expected bash: syntax error near
  -i'`

Which is normal, because you are basically saying:
if [[ command ]]; then ...

Where command is a set of multiple piped commands. However, in [[ you just can add expressions on the form "$var" -eq 23 or "$(command)" -ne 23.
So use $( ) to execute the command: if [[ "$(command)" -ne 23 ]]:
if [[ "$(curl -i -s -k  -X 'GET' "http://myurl/some.asp?q=$i" | grep Content-Length | cut -d' ' -f2)" -ne 23 ]]

Note I am using -ne to perform an integer comparison that means "not equal to".
Finally, notice that awk alone can do what grep and cut do in two steps:
... | grep "Content-Length" | cut -d' ' -f2

This means: check the line containing "Content-Length" and print its second field. awk makes it simple by saying:
... | awk '/Content-Length/ {print $2}'

And last, but not least, your expression for ((i=113;i<=115;i++)) can be also written as for i in {113..115} using brace expansion.

A: If you want to test a result of the command execution you should put it into $() . So the resulting script should look as follows:
for i in {113..115}; do if [[ $(curl -i -s -k  -X 'GET' "http://myurl/some.asp?q=$i" | grep Content-Length | cut -d' ' -f2) != 23 ]]; then echo "good" ; fi; done

Also I've changed a way you iterate the values. {a..b} in bash provides a sequence from 'a' to 'b'.

Pitlochry and the Road to the Isles
ASIN: B09G37HRG2
A picturesque journey in the Highlands of Scotland from Ben Vrackie along the quiet shores of Loch Tummel and Loch Rannoch, the mountains of Schiehallion and Meall Garbh reflected in their sill waters seems like a innocent meander through the peaceful scenes and wonders of nature.
But it was not always thus. Slaughter, bloodshed, Viking invastions, heartless evictions; the creachs of the Children of the Mist and the atrocities of the Wild Men of Rannoch tore this area apart as it struggled to survive the blood hounds of the chief of the Clan Campbell and the sword of Butcher Cumberland during the long, dark, Jacobite years.
But despite all that there was good. People who changed a way of life, an attitude to life, life itself – whether it was for the good or to the detriment. Retrospect reveals how dedication or passion can make a lasting legacy - can make history.


HONG KONG — A Chinese professor who traces his lineage to Confucius — China's ancient champion of harmony and courtesy — has stirred an angry bout of disharmony with a tirade against Hong Kong as a land of "dogs" and "thieves" in thrall to British colonialism.
Ignoring his illustrious ancestor's injunction that a "gentleman should speak carefully," Kong Qingdong of Peking University hurled abuse at the former British colony during an appearance on an Internet television talk show.
Furious at the remarks, scores of protesters gathered Sunday outside the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, Beijing's main representative office in Hong Kong. Several paraded pet dogs. Others unfurled banners denouncing the Beijing academic. "We are not dogs," the protesters shouted.
The furor dominated the front pages of Hong Kong's major newspapers over the weekend and darkened a festive mood on the eve of Chinese New Year. Monday is the first day of the Year of the Dragon. The professor's comments also added fuel to a growing debate over identity in Hong Kong, which returned to Chinese rule 15 years ago but whose residents feel separate from — and frequently superior to — Chinese from the mainland.
A survey of public opinion last month found that feelings of kinship with the rest of China have declined since Britain pulled out in 1997. The number of respondents who said they view themselves as Hong Kongers was more than double the number who see themselves as Chinese. China's senior official in Hong Kong denounced the survey as "unscientific." Communist Party-controlled media vilified a prominent Hong Kong academic who conducted the poll, alleging a foreign-backed plot to weaken Hong Kong's ties to China.
Though ethnically and culturally Chinese, this city's 7 million residents — who mostly speak Cantonese rather than Mandarin, China's official language — often feel distant from their mainland cousins, who visit in growing numbers and have acquired a reputation for boorishness.
Kong, the Peking University professor, made his remarks after video footage of a quarrel between mainlanders and Hong Kongers appeared on the Internet last week. The video, which attracted widespread attention on the mainland, showed a Hong Kong passenger on the city's subway system telling a noodle-munching mainlander in Cantonese that eating on the train is forbidden. A shouting match erupted and then continued on the platform after someone pressed the emergency button.
Leading Hong Kong politicians swiftly denounced the Beijing academic, who is well-known in China for his sharp tongue and hard-edged nationalist views.
"Hong Kong people are not dogs," said Henry Tang, who is in the running to become Hong Kong's next chief executive, in a contest to be decided this year by a 1,200-member committee. His main rival, Leung Chun-ying, said the professor's insults did not represent the views of most people on the mainland.
"Down with the Barking Dog Professor," said a banner headline in Hong Kong's Oriental Daily News. The paper warned that "contradictions between China and Hong Kong are getting deeper by the day." The professor at the center of the storm, it added, "didn't just disgrace his position as a scholar but also disgraced his ancestor," Confucius.
Kong's outburst provoked dismay as well as applause from fellow mainlanders. "Hong Kongers are dogs, and what Mr. Kong said is right," said a posting on Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter. Official media either ignored or played down the controversy.

ISIS Suicide Bombers Attack Coalition Base in Iraq

BAGHDAD -- The U.S.-led coalition says several Islamic State suicide bombers have attacked one of its bases in northern Iraq, without causing any Iraqi or foreign casualties.
U.S. Army Col. Ryan Dillon, the coalition spokesman, says all the attackers were killed.
Dillon says Sunday's attack occurred in the area of the northern town of Hawija, one of the last pockets of IS control after the extremists were driven from Mosul earlier this year.
U.S.-backed Iraqi forces have retaken all the major urban areas the extremists once held in Iraq, but IS remains capable of carrying out attacks on civilian and military targets.
On Thursday, an IS attack on a checkpoint and restaurant in southern Iraq killed more than 80 people and wounded dozens more.

Working From Home During COVID-19
Five things you should be doing—but probably are not—to be more cyber secure
Written by Shawn E. Tuma
March 2020 will go down in history as marking a quantum leap in the way we lawyers do business from a primary office-based environment to an almost exclusively work-from-home environment. A transition that, under normal circumstances, would have taken many years, took place within hours or, maybe, a few days, as shutdown orders forced people to stay out of their offices and to work from home. There was no time to plan ahead for this transition and most had to adapt on the fly and do the best we could. As much as this pandemic impacted the way we live our lives, it impacted the cybersecurity of our practices as well as our clients' businesses.
The Pandemic Marked a Quantum Leap in our Lives, Work, and for Cyberrisk
Cyberrisk is not a new concept. The words "cybersecurity," "data privacy," and "data breach" have been an increasing part of our vocabulary since the headline data breaches of 2013. For lawyers in particular, the trend is the same. Hackers consistently target law firms because they see them as a one-stop-shop treasure trove of valuable information. As a result, several prominent law firms have made the news for their cybersecurity events, well over 100 law firms have publicly reported data breaches, and at least one prominent law firm, Mossack Fonseca, closed its doors following a data breach that revealed the Panama Papers.
In the world of cybersecurity, the odds are stacked against you from the beginning as your security must get it right 100% of the time while a threat actor only needs one lucky shot for an attack to succeed. Those odds get worse as your network environment increases and becomes less controlled because the larger your environment is, the more targets threat actors have to attack.
Prior to COVID-19, it was difficult enough to protect computer networks and the information contained thereon when the "network" was primarily contained within the controlled environment of office space in professional office buildings in one or more locations (for those law firms that had multiple offices). While there were those power users who would take their laptops and work remotely while out of the office, they were still the exception, not the norm, as most firm employees were still working in the office.
When COVID-19 sent everyone working from home all of the time, the threat landscape increased exponentially. The only way most firms could adapt was to find ways to provide employees with access to their network from wherever they were located. With all employees being out of the controlled office environments, that network literally expanded to include every location where every employee was located. To provide for communications that were usually done face-to-face, many turned to third-party services that had not been vetted and for which there was no training and no uniform setup process to ensure they were used in as secure of a manner as possible. This led to new trends such as "Zoom-bombing."1
FBI's COVID-19 Remote Work Cybersecurity Prevention Tips Are Required Reading for All
In April 2020, the FBI reported a spike in cybercrime activity since the beginning of the pandemic, with the Internet Crime Complaint Center receiving about 3,000-4,000 complaints a day as compared to 1,000 complaints a day shortly before the pandemic.2 The FBI issued a public service announcement, or PSA,3 addressing this increase in threats. The PSA included an extensive explanation of each of the common threats as well as actionable tips for preventing the most common threats.
Everyone should carefully read the FBI's tips in the PSA as they are easy to understand and are just as applicable for improving cybersecurity when life returns to normal as they are during a pandemic. There are too many tips to include in this article but the PSA is linked in the endnotes.
Top Five Things We See Organizations Not Doing—That They Should Be Doing—That Lead to Cyber Incidents and Data Breaches
In my practice I advise and lead organizations through the process of investigating and responding to cyber incidents and data breaches. In this role, our team comes in after an event has occurred and, among other things, works with technical cybersecurity experts to assist in investigating to learn how and why it occurred as well as how it could have been prevented. Though I am still just a lawyer, I have learned a lot over the years.
When asked what organizations can do to help improve their cyberrisk posture, the safest answer is always "everything!" Reasonable cybersecurity experts could offer enough tips and advice to fill volumes and, while many would be similar, many would not be and the order of priority would vary significantly. I have my own "Good Cyber Hygiene Checklist"4 but, in the world of cybersecurity, much like in the law, the answer to the question of "what is best?" is often "it depends." Unfortunately, there is so much information and misinformation out there that many organizations end up not taking any action because they cannot determine how to prioritize or where to begin.
Without an understanding of the particular organization or the unique risks it faces, it is impossible to know what is best or most important. What we do know is what we are seeing organizations not doing—that they should be doing—that most frequently leads to cyber incidents and data breaches. The following five recommendations address what we see exploited most often that are not always on the top of organizations' priorities.
1. Backups, Backups, Backups! There is another pandemic going around called ransomware and the odds of it infecting your organization are high. For years we heard, "We do not worry about cybersecurity because our data is not that valuable." The threat actors learned that regardless of how valuable data was to others, data was valuable to the organization itself and, if they could encrypt the organization's data and make it unavailable, the organization would pay a ransom to regain access to it. Quickly realizing that when an organization had viable backups of their data they would not pay, they adapted their tactics and now, upon first gaining access to the network, locate the backups of the data and either delete or infect the backups, then launch the primary ransomware attack. Organizations must have a backup strategy that accounts for this threat such as the "3-2-1 backup rule," which is: 3) have a least three copies of your data; 2) store the copies on two different media; and 1) keep at least one backup copy disconnected and offsite. Simply having backups is not enough—you must use a strategy such as this and recognize that the last copy, the one kept offsite, may be all you have left to carry on your operations.
2.	Multifactor Authentication, or MFA. Every login for something important must require MFA, which is using two steps to login instead of just one. For example, MFA would require a password plus clicking an app on your phone before you could successfully login. If you are using Microsoft Office 365, Google, or another form of cloud-accessible email, you should be absolutely certain you have implemented MFA.
3.	Phishing Training and Exercises. Phishing emails continue to account for the vast majority of attacks on organizations and continue to be effective at delivering malware, viruses, harvesting login credentials, and triggering other fraud schemes such as the business email compromise. One of the most effective ways to combat the threat of phishing emails is by training members of the workforce to recognize phishing emails and then having regular exercises to test them by sending fake phishing emails to see who is clicking on the links or otherwise falling for the phishing email.
4.	Remote Desktop/Virtual Network Computing. Do not permit remote desktop protocol or virtual network computing unless necessary. If you do permit it, require that it only be used with a reputable encrypted virtual private network that requires MFA to access.
5. Disk Encryption. Every device that can reasonably be transported from one location to another by an individual should have full disk encryption enabled. Hackers do love to hack but thieves also love to steal and people have a bad habit of leaving devices in the Uber or sitting at the airport. Having encryption enabled could mean the difference between just replacing a lost piece of hardware versus exposing sensitive information on that device and having to notify the world of a data breach.

Characterising Pielke (Jr)
By stoat on July 7, 2006.
RP Jr seems to find himself frequently mischaracterised, most recently by the AZ Daily Star. But how can this be? With language so precise, what room for misunderstanding could there be? Well...
Roger objects to it being said that he has "been critical of the view that human-caused global warming represents a major environmental threat."; this "grossly mischaracterizes" his views. Why would anyone think he held such views? Because of stuff like "the independent effects of changes in societal vulnerability are larger than the independent effects of changes in storm intensity by a factor of between 22 to 1 and 100 to one" I suppose. Or indeed the fires letter, which makes the obvious point that fire policy is probably relevant. And his rebuttal is odd: viz: "To the contrary, much of my research for the past 15 years has been focused on options for dealing with global warming, and in particular, the role of science in policy". Why not "To the contrary, I do indeed believe that GW represents a major env threat"?
As near as I can tell, RP *is* indeed rather critical/skeptical of the idea that GW is a major env threat, at least as measured against the other threats out there (and who knows, I might be too :-).
William-
Surely one can keep in their mind at the same time the notion that global warming represents a serious environmental threat, but is not the most important factor in hurricane damage?
It is exactly this sort of all-or-nothing categorization that I object to. You and I have had this conversation about a half-dozen times. Global warming is a major environmental threat. It is not the most important factor in hurricane damages.
It is too much to ask journalists and bloggers to appreciate that there are more views out their than the cartoonish images of right-wing skeptics and left-wing alarmists?
[Sure, there is more to life than hurricanes, there is wildfires.. In what area would you say was the most important env threat that GW represents? -W]
By Roger Pielke, Jr. (not verified) on 07 Jul 2006 #permalink
One is amused at being reminded of the discussion last summer between William and the other Pielke (which sadly has been partly removed from RPSr's blog, and which I'm therefore happy I preserved for posterity):
http://www.inkstain.net/fleck/?p=1074
[Its a shame the comments got deleted there (who would do such a thing?). As I recall it, I eventually let SP Sr off a bit lightly. I deny its tribal - I just wanted to know what he thought, and never really got a good answer to the last-30-y-stuff. FWIW, RP Sr isn't currently on List of scientists opposing global warming consensus but was talked about a bit recently -W]

1. Abupt, unpredicted climate change. See this paper of which I was a co-author:
Alley, R.B., J. Marotzke, W. D. Nordhaus, J. T. Overpeck, D. M. Peteet, R. A. Pielke Jr., R. T. Pierrehumbert, P. B. Rhines, T. F. Stocker, L. D. Talley, and J. M. Wallace, 2003: Abrupt Climate Change, Science, 299:2005-2010.
2. There is a list?! Now that is actually quite scary. A consensus is a measure of central tendency, it has a fat part and tails like any distribution. It is not a litmus test of tribal allegiance, which is exactly what political function such a list serves.
[The list is there because people insist on having lists of things. The amusing thing is that the language issue keeps comig up - there are various people who obviously are fairly septic, but they have often used such poor language that its hard to know exactly what position they do take.
As for abrupt, unpredicted: I'd regard that as perhaps a rather poor answer... is that the best you can do? Suppose we were able to rule it out... what then? -W]
Roger, you are making the all-to-common mistake of taking "consensus" to mean "absolute agreement about everything".
I think RC did a good thing by explicitly laying out just what they mean when they say consensus, and it is exactly how I would define it. It is also what everybody I have read who shares the "consensus" view means by it as far as I can tell. It is only those who fall in the "denialist" or "septic" categories who try to make it into the strawman of "there is absolute agreement about everything" so they can turn around and laugh at it.
FWIW, the "consensus" position most definately does *not* include GW is causing stronger hurricanes or GW is a major factor in hurricane damage increases.
The consenus as outlined by RC is the same kind as the consensus about plate tectonics being real. If geology were being thwarted for entirely political ends I would find very useful a list of Plate Tectonics Sceptics.
Not scary, useful. And no it is not like putting yellow stars on all Jews in Nazi Germany. More like putting uniforms on all inmates at a prison facility.

Dear Coby, I am stunned and pleasantly surprised that you start to distinguish consensus from scientific evidence, and I wonder whether William Connolley will need 50 or 250 years to join you.
By Luboš Motl (not verified) on 07 Jul 2006 #permalink
Coby-
Thanks, but when I write that "A consensus is a measure of central tendency, it has a fat part and tails like any distribution" I explicitly am rejecting the notion that consensus means "absolute agreement about everything". So I do reject your characterization of my views.
The consensus perspective of the community is represented not by RC, but by the IPCC. It is worth noting that someone like Jim Hansen (by his own admission) falls outside the IPCC consensus (using the Wikipedia list criteria) or in the skinny part of one of the tails (using my description) on things like certainty in attribution of global temperture trends to CO2 and future sea level rise (Hansen is more bullish than IPCC). Now I don't see Hansen appearing as someone "skeptical" of the IPCC. Not that there is anything wrong with that, science benefits from diversity of views. At the same time it can be very useful for the rest of us to have a sense of the distrubution of those views at a particular point in time. But one-tailed lists are something else altogether.
I would further note that in my own area of exeprtise, best represented by IPCC WGII, I reject the IPCC consensus on a few subjects. Why? because the IPCC got a few things wrong. Should I send in for my prison uniform?
I'd agree that such lists are useful. They are useful for people who would rather not think about the legitimate diversity in climate science and would rather simply be told who the good guys are and bad guys are. Your disturbing metaphor about criminals and prisons makes this pretty clear.
Willim- Do I hear skepticism from you about abrupt climate change? See you in prison ;-)
Hi Roger,
I wasn't very clear, sorry. My point is that you are attacking the same strawman as the right-wing talking heads and lately Lindzen is his WSJ od-ed.
I agree with you in a qualified way that the IPCC, not RC, represents the consensus. The qualification is that this is a 5yr old snapshot. To my knowledge, RC does not make any representations that are at odds with the IPCC.
Your further discussion of consensus and diversity ignores one aspect of science, and that is progression and direction. James Hansen may turn out to be wrong, but he is leading, not dragging his feet, this is a crucial difference. If science does not follow his path and he refuses to acknowledge his demonstrable mistakes he is then in a different boat.
And FWIW, I think it is more than obvious that Pat Michaels, Fred Singer and the Idsos have nothing to do with legitimate diversity, your justifiable admiration of the concept notwithstanding. I admire the concept of free speech, that does not mean tha I must admire and embrace every odious expression of bigotry that comes with it. I do not advocate punishment or supression of "climate change sceptics" but I have no problem calling a spade a spade, nor do I understand why you should.
Just to add some context to the thread, because clear definitions are important, this is what RC describes as the "consensus" and what I always mean by it:
- The earth is getting warmer
- People are causing this
- If GHG emissions continue, the warming will continue
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2004/12/just-what-is-this…
Quibbles and qualifications are of course part of getting a finer understanding, but this is the high level, take home message.
To my knowledge, RC does not make any representations that are at odds with the IPCC
This should have read "representations of the consensus".
I believe this is where I came in. Let us look at the first sentence of Roger Pielke Jr.'s first post
"Surely one can keep in their mind at the same time the notion that global warming represents a serious environmental threat, but is not the most important factor in hurricane damage?"
Note the tense and the adjective:
So Roger, is global warming AN important factor in hurricane damage currently? If not, does it CURRENTLY play any role?
If present trends continue WILL global warming become the MOST important factor in hurricane damage?
Is there valid modeling to show that hurricane intensity is increasing due to global warming?
And please, do not respond with a reading list.

Eli states the questions needed to understand that, I think. I was trying to write the same query, asking clarification.

By Hank Roberts (not verified) on 09 Jul 2006 #permalink
Since Roger has not answered my questions, let me point out that his posts have contained substantial retreats on the issue of anthropically caused increases in cyclone intensity. He obviously now believes that this is true, but is unwilling to explicitly state this in view of the past written positions he has taken.
Finally, I can't resist taking a shot at "A consensus is a measure of central tendency, it has a fat part and tails like any distribution" which, as we all know is not true for politicized issues. As the limerik says....
There was a wee lass from Devizes
Who had breasts of two different sizes,
One was so small,
It was nothing at all
The other was big and won prizes
He has a new gig?
"A recent study of 30-year space shuttle program concluded that once the program retires this year, NASA will have spent nearly $200 billion on its 135 space shuttle missions....
The recent analysis, performed by science policy expert Roger Pielke Jr., and research associate Radford Byerly, concluded that the average fleet are factored in."
I wonder what that means.

Has the President Lost the Arab Street...?
It is difficult for a nonbeliever to recognize what a proud moment it was for all of Islam in all its great world centers -- the Middle East, Indonesia, Africa, Holland, Britain, Sweden, Michigan -- when my (very) distant cousin Bari al-Taqqiyah stood up before the faithful and apologized for the many sins of the Great Satan and the perfidious Jews Zionists.
Yet, in all the days since his Cairo speech, the Arab world has noted a disturbing lack of any real action on the part of America's first truly devout President, that leads many to wonder if perhaps this great Democrat has not been entirely honest with us, unlikely as it may seem.
WHY DOES HE PERMIT HIS WOMAN TO EXPOSE HERSELF IN PUBLIC?! Assuming lewd postures in revealing clothing! Inflaming the faithful with naughty thoughts and sinful desires! Is this proper behavior of a first wife to the First Dhimmi of the Great Satan?!
If cousin Bari cannot attend to important issues like this, it is becoming difficult to believe he might give lesser matters any more serious thought.

Looks like we bagged our limit for today, but it's still open season!

Page 429). Keep on them.
The event, originally scheduled for a 200 seat library room, was sensibly moved out to the atrium between the Alhambra library and the high school. I'd say there were perhaps 1000 people present, tops.
The activity on the podium, hosted by Congressman Schiff (D. - Jihad) was a farce, of course. What was billed as a healthcare debate featured not one single speaker who opposed Obamacare. I don't want to say the questions were rigged, but the first question was allegedly asked by a seven-months pregnant woman concerned about being forced to enter the public option if she lost her current health coverage. I sort of lost the thread of the rambling answer when a woman came boiling out of the crowd shouting, "That's not what she asked! She's standing down there asking them to answer the question she asked and they're ignoring her!"
Welcome to our world, honey.
The rest of it was Schiff et al assuring us that what's actually written in the bill isn't what's really there, and what is says it will do isn't what will really happen. There was no indication anyone on the panel was familiar with the bill except for the part where they knew they were promised free stuff.
Some photos below of the attendees.
The crowd started gathering early, with Obamacare supporters showing up for the 7:00 p.m. event as early as 4:30 or so. Obamacare opponents (i.e., people with jobs) started showing up later in the evening.
The crowd seemed to me fairly balanced in number, although the pro-Obie crews bogarted the seats in front of the cameras by dint of their early arrival, while the protesters surrounded them in a WIDE arc on the lawn behind them (see the pictures below).
Although SEIU was present, it was muted, perhaps as a result of the large Alhambra PD presence. The evening was orderly, as far as I know. Plenty of shouting but no violent encounters I saw or heard about.
Sarah Palin unfairly uses Obama's own words and the actual text of HC3200 to show it up for the deathwish it is.
Oh? And Obama's Health Czar? Throw the kids, the chronic and old folks off the raft: "Of course, it"s not just this one provision that presents a problem. My original comments concerned statements made by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a health policy advisor to President Obama and the brother of the President's chief of staff. Dr. Emanuel has written that some medical services should not be guaranteed to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia." (Source: NCPA) Dr. Emanuel has also advocated basing medical decisions on a system which "produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated." (Source: Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel)"
As all of my readership in the high severals knows, I have participated in approximately 700 +/- rallies in support of the troops and my political convictions since the start of the second Iraq War. One reason for that high number is the weekly rally I hold in Studio City with several other folks. We normally stage it on Friday evenings, but since we spent this Friday following Frumley Brooks around the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre telling him he dressed like a 'spontaneous' health care supporter, we held it last night, Saturday, instead.
He claimed to be a Canadian with dual American citizenship. When we asked him if he approved of Canadian health care, he said he had an American health care plan. When we starting quoting him passages from the health bill, he started screaming about Rush Limbaugh. Would not believe we got information from any other source. (Note: none of us listen to Rush since we work and our bosses won't let us.) At this point I wrote him off and went on about my business, The light on the corner changed, and I started across the street to work the oncoming traffic.
He starts screaming "Get the sign out of my face! Get that sign out of my face!" I said, "It's a public street," and kept walking.
He starts trying to shove me out of the crosswalk. I have whatcha might call a low center of gravity and don't shove well.
Then he hooks a rabbit punch into my short ribs from behind.
I turned around, which surprised him, stuck a straight left back into his face, which surprised him more since he was about six inches taller than me, and said, "Do that again."
I've been punched before, and reasonably expect I'll be punched again in my lifetime. But I'm gonna start working closer to my corner for a while since I have no doubt that these heroes will start going after the handicapped woman in the chair if they're given the chance.


In March of 2010 the House passed a health care reform bill which has been at the forefront of the minds of employers across the nation, not the least of which school districts. Since then, the High Desert & Inland Employee – Employer Trust has been discussing this bill and its implications and has been consistently updated on the ever-changing regulations in the bill.
The Trust has partnered with its manager and administrator, HUB International Insurance Services Inc, to work with each participating district individually towards compliance with the new law. HUB International has a wealth of resources to help school districts comply with the ACA.

This incident recalls the treatment of detainees in private detention facilities during Hurricane Dolly in 2008, when 1,000 detainees at Willacy Detention Center were not evacuated. Those who were evacuated were denied adequate housing, food, access to legal counsel and communications, and protection from the elements.
The treatment of prisoners in Beaumont during Hurricane Harvey raises concern for the immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in private detention centers along the Texas coast, including Karnes County family detention center and Brooks County Detention Center operated by GEO Group. Detainees were not reported to have been evacuated, leaving them in the path of the historic and devastating storm.
A group of 17 Democratic senators called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to end the practice of family detention, as reported by Mother Jones.
The group of senators, including former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine, sent a letter to Sec. Johnson saying family detention is "wrong" and "should be ended immediately." They cited research showing how prolonged confinement can hurt children's physical and mental health. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has taken a similar position as her running mate, and called for an end to family detention.
There are currently three family detention centers in the United States, one in Pennsylvania and two in Texas. These centers have a history of poor medical care, lack of legal access, and sexual assault.
Lopez revealed that she was rebuked for attempting to provide basic social services such as showing the families the geographic location of the facility and creating better ways to document their concerns. In December, Lopez received this directive from her boss: "ICE: We don't tell them anything." She recalled that psychologists were encouraged to falsify records in order to leave a clean paper trail, and that they reported families' stories to ICE agents.
She also observed severe medical neglect inside the facility, including instances where GEO staff ignored severe abdominal pain and cranial bleeding in toddlers and infants until the emergency became so severe that they were flown to a hospital to undergo major operations. Additionally, Lopez said during one chicken pox outbreak, each "resident" was forced to submit to a blood draw in a way that terrorized children and left many with heavy bruising.
Lopez also confirmed reports of retaliation against leaders of a hunger strike that took place inside the facility earlier this year. She says that leaders of the strike were placed in isolation, sometimes being separated from their children, who were placed in the care of guards with no childcare license. Children were not told of their mothers' whereabouts and were left to sleep alone without protection.
At various points, Lopez observed that ICE officials condoned and participated in the environment that GEO created, which isolated and terrorized the detained mothers and children. Lopez stated that she was compelled to resign from her position in April after being asked to withhold information from federal officials and follow policies that violated her social work license. Her full testimony the the Congressional Progressive Caucus is available here.

The Kinship Care Alliance's vision statement
When children are unable to live safely with their parents, then their family and friends should be the first port of call to provide them with love, care and security. These family and friends carers should be recognised and valued. Both the carers and the children should have their voices heard and needs met so that the children can flourish.
We have now published The Kinship Care Alliance Agenda for Action setting out practical policies to realise this vision.
The good news is that our concerted campaigning has led to the Labour Party manifesto explicitly stating that
"We will increase support for children in kinship care (also known as family and friends care) and their families, a group that have been too overlooked and undervalued."
This announcement follows a meeting between ourselves, Alan Johnson MP and Tristram Hunt MP, as Shadow Secretary of State for Education, followed by an event we hosted in which children raised by their kinship carers and the carers themselves discussed their experiences with Tristram Hunt MP and Steve McCabe MP.
We also held meetings with Edward Timpson MP, Minister for Children and Families and the Number 10 Policy Unit.
But we need your help to continue to raise awareness and support for children in family and friends care
a) Please elobby your parliamentary candidates – it is the ideal time to catch their attention and help ensure that post election there is understanding and commitment amongst MPs across the political divide which follows through into action. It'll take you 5 minutes, it's a very easy process and there is model letter for you to use, but please do amend to reflect the reasons you feel strongly about this.
b) Find out who has signed up to support the Kinship Care Alliance Agenda for Action and pledge your support.
We are very relieved to have received funding from the Department for Education national prospectus grant for the advice service from 1 April 2015-31 March 2016. Unfortunately however, government funding for the service has reduced by nearly 20% in the last two years, whilst demand from families needing advice has continued to rise. As a result we have been forced to suspend the email service and the advice line remains extremely busy – we are unfortunately only able to assist less then 4 in 10 families contacting us.
Our website content is expanding all the time. It's attracting more and more visitors - last month over 30,000 people visited our website and on-line forums, the highest number in our history.
In the last few weeks:
We have published answers to a wide range of frequently asked questions, including on family support, child protection and the care system for parents and also for family and friends carers.
There is a major new section of the website for mothers involved with children's services due to domestic violence.
We have updated the education webpages for family & friends carers to reflect recent legal changes, including on special educational needs and school admissions.
Our advice sheets include extensive information, including step by step guides for family and friends carers considering applying for a Child Arrangements or Special Guardianship Order.
You can now find out whether your local authority has a family and friends care policy, and what it says.
We have updated information about local support groups for family and friends carers, including contact details about when they meet.
We would love to hear the views of children being raised by grandparents or older siblings or in other family and friends care arrangements. This is the first national survey of its kind. The survey asks the children whether and how they'd like to meet or hear about others raised in family and friends care, and what resources they would find useful. The results of the survey will be published on the website and will influence Family Rights Group's work including what we try and get funding to do.
We have not put a closing date – instead our aim is that at least 100 children and young people complete the survey.

Could do better...Must do better: A study of family and friends care local authority policies by Mercer A, Lindley B and Hopkins A. Editor: Ashley C, March 2015
This new Family Rights Group report reveals that 26 (17%) of English local authorities, including 30% of London local authorities are failing to comply with the most basic requirement of statutory guidance issued in 2011, to have a published policy setting out their approach towards promoting and supporting the needs of children living with family and friend carers.
The study analyses 53 family and friends care policies, to identify how they are complying with statutory family and friends care guidance and to highlight good practice. It includes a check list to assist local authorities to develop and improve their policies.
What happens to siblings in the care system? by Cathy Ashley and David Roth, January 2015
Our report investigates the experience of siblings in the care system, drawing upon replies to a freedom of information request sent to all English local authorities. It found that half (49.5%) of all sibling groups in local authority care are split up and that 37% of children in care who have at least one other sibling in care are living with none of their siblings. The research found that kinship foster care appears to be particularly conducive to supporting siblings in care to be able to live together. The report sets out a series of recommendations to enable more siblings in care to live together, when it is their welfare interests.
The Alliance works:
To counter the stigma, negative presumptions and judgemental approaches to families whose children are subject to, or at risk of, state intervention by influencing how these families are perceived by the public and portrayed by the media and politicians;
to influence law, policy, practice and service design and delivery so that our child welfare, child mental health, youth justice and education systems promote effective human functioning and healthy relationships;
To enable these families to have a voice in policy and decision-making circles.
We are keen to encourage anyone who shares our values and purpose to join Membership is free, you can apply on-line and you can commit as much or as little as you wish. Alongside all member events, we are developing regional group, an on-line discussion board and hold project working groups.
The next meeting of the Alliance is on 3rd June 2015 in central London. It is an opportunity to get involved in the Alliance & to:
Discuss the implications for the Alliance of the General Election results
Consider the content of new draft parents' charter developed by the Alliance's Parents' Panel – and how to progress implementation. The Charter sets out expectations of how services should engage with parents subject to statutory interventions
Examine with practitioners, including social workers priorities for system, policy & practice changes, drawing upon initial findings from the social workers' survey (see below).

Today we're going to go over one of our favorite blitzes in Madden NFL 17. It's located in the Dollar 3-2-6 Defensive Formation and the play is called Max Sting 3.
Now there's two ways to set this up, so you can have the option of the blitz coming from either direction.
When you're sending the blitz from the left, you hot route the right slot cornerback into what you expect to happen on the right side. Hitting down on the d pad puts him into a vert/hook zone, which you mainly see in Cover 2 defenses, so if the inside receiver runs a streak he'll follow him up the seams so this is good if you're expecting something like 4 verticals. But if such a streak doesn't happen he'll just sit down in his zone and play anything that comes to him.
Now if you hit right on the Dpad, he'll now play a curl/flat assignment, which protects the intermediate outside routes first and charges up afterwards to anything thrown short, so he'll play out routes and curls a lot better.
Lastly, by hitting the d pad to the left, puts him in a hard-flat assignment where his responsibility becomes cover anything short to the sideline at all cost and the Free Safety, whose playing a Seam/Flat assignment will convert to man on any inside receivers vertical route and depending on the route concept out breaking route, otherwise he'll play the left flat if its threatened and if not he'll shade any route the single receiver runs towards the sidelines. And to finish it off, by usering the right middle linebacker you clean up anything thrown towards the middle of the field.
When you're sending the blitz from the right, when you hot route the right-side linebacker, it gives you a variety of intermediate and short coverage options. Hitting right on the d pad, gives him a curl/flat coverage, which as mentioned before protects the intermediate outside routes first and cleans up anything short afterwards.
Hitting the d pad down gives him a hook/curl zone which covers the general area the play is already in and hitting the d pad to the left gives him the hard flat assignment which forces him to cover the right side flats in a hurry. Cover anything towards the middle with the left side slot defender, you can get a lot of interceptions this way because your opponent might not see you come into view before it's too late.
With any blitz, you want to take away the quick options early to force the offense to hold the ball longer giving your blitzer more time to get there, so be more aware of routes like slants and drags when you're patrolling the middle with whoever defender you choose to control.
Checkout the video above for more details and stay tuned to SGO for all of your Madden NFL 17 news and tips.

Ivanka Trump Opens Up About Converting to Orthodox Judaism
"It's been such a great life decision for me," she said.

— -- Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism after getting together with her husband, Jared Kushner, though she rarely discusses it.
For the businesswoman, the subject is "such a personal thing."
"We're pretty observant, more than some, less than others. I just feel like it's such an intimate thing for us," she told Vogue. "It's been such a great life decision for me. I am very modern, but I'm also a very traditional person, and I think that's an interesting juxtaposition in how I was raised as well. I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity."
Trump, 33, and Kushner, 34, who have been married since 2009 and are now parents to two small children, keep Kosher and observe the Sabbath. From Friday night until sundown on Saturday, they disconnect from the rest of the world and enjoy time with their family.
Fun Photos! Ivanka Trump Spends the Summer Bonding With Her Family
Meet Ivanka Trump's New Baby Boy, Joseph Frederick
"We don't do anything but hang out with one another. We don't make phone calls," she said. "It's an amazing thing when you're so connected to really sign off. And for [my three-year-old] Arabella to know that she has me, undivided, one day a week? We don't do anything except play with each other, hang out with one another, go on walks together. Pure family."
It's nice for Kushner too. His wife, he said, has really embraced the ritual, and even learned to cook as a result of it.
"Ivanka's such a type A," he said. "She just gets it done. But she said, 'If we're going to do Shabbos, I'm going to cook.' She never cooked before in her life, and became a great cook. So for Friday, she'll make dinner for just the two of us, and we turn our phones off for 25 hours. Putting aside the religious aspect of it; we live in such a fast-paced world."

Ectopic expression of the proto-oncogene Mer in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The Mer receptor tyrosine kinase, cloned from a B-lymphoblastoid library, is the mammalian orthologue of the chicken retroviral oncogene v-eyk and sends antiapoptotic and transforming signals when activated. To determine if Mer expression is ectopic in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and potentially important in leukemogenesis, we analyzed Mer expression in normal human thymocytes and lymphocytes and in pediatric ALL patient samples.Reverse transcription-PCR, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry were used to determine expression of Mer in sorted human thymocyte populations, lymphocytes, and lymphocytes activated by phytohemagglutinin or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ionophore. Mer expression in 34 T-cell ALL (T-ALL) patient samples was evaluated by reverse transcription-PCR, and Mer protein expression in a separate cohort of 16 patient samples was assayed by flow cytometry and Western blot.Mer expression was absent in normal thymocytes or lymphocytes, and in T cells activated with phytohemagglutinin or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ionophore. In contrast, Jurkat cells and T-ALL patient samples expressed unique 180 to 185 kDa Mer protein glycoforms. Substantial Mer RNA levels were principally observed in a subset of T-ALL patient samples that expressed B220 (P = 0.004) but lacked surface expression of CD3 (P = 0.02) and CD4 (P = 0.006), a phenotypic profile consistent with immature lymphoblasts. In addition, 8 of 16 T-ALL patient samples had Mer protein detected by flow cytometry and Western blot.Transforming Mer signals may contribute to T-cell leukemogenesis, and abnormal Mer expression may be a novel therapeutic target in pediatric ALL therapy.

Q: Principal Ultrafilter implies Isomorphic Ultraproduct Let $\mathfrak{F}=\{X\subseteq \mathbb {N} \mid 17\in X \}$ (Note that $\mathfrak {F}$ is principal ultrafilter) and:
Let $\mathfrak{N}$ be the standard model for arithmatic and
$\mathfrak{N}^*=\mathfrak{N}^{\mathbb{N}}/ \mathfrak{F}$
Can someone explain (in details) why $\mathfrak{N} \simeq \mathfrak{N}^*$?

A: *

*There is a simple lemma saying that if F is an ultrafilter on I and $G \in F$, then $F|G$ is an ultrafilte on G, where $F|G = \{ X \cap G : X \in F \}$.

*One proves then a bit more involved statement that
$(\prod_{i\in I} A_i)/F \simeq (\prod_{i\in G} A_i)/(F|G)$.

*The claim follows then taking $G = \{j\}$ - the 17th coordinate in your case. The right-hand-side in 2. becomes then isomorphic to $A_j$.
